Turn your Sleep Focus on or off on iPhone

After you set up a Sleep Focus, you can quickly turn it on or off in Control Center. A Sleep Focus helps reduce distractions before and during bedtime. For example, it can filter out notifications and phone calls, and it can signal to others that you’re not available. You can also choose to turn off the Sleep Focus for all of your sleep schedules.

  1. Open Control Center on your iPhone.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Turn the Sleep Focus on: Tap Focus, then tap Sleep.

    • Turn the Sleep Focus off: Tap Sleep, then tap Sleep again.

Tip: If your Sleep Focus is on, you can also quickly turn it off when you touch and hold Sleep on the Lock Screen, then tap Sleep.

Your Sleep Focus turns on or off again at your next scheduled bedtime or wake up time.
